When the World Cup is over, it’s time to draw up the balance. What can we say about the World Cup as a whole? Well, in general I thought it was a very exciting World Cup. The so called “weak” countries were often not weaker than their opponents.

The biggest soccer event has started in Russia, but it’s not really a hot topic in The Netherlands, which is quite understandable as we do not participate. However, to me, the World Cup is always attractive when the time is there, because African countries participate.
